Vincent: Difference between revisions

In ''[[EP267|Love, Pokémon Style]]'', "Jackson", as he was called in the English dub, was revealed to be {{Ash}} and [[Macy]]'s opponent in Division H of preliminary round-robin {{pkmn|battle}} rounds of the [[Silver Conference]]. Ash later battled Macy and won against her, earning himself three points.

 

Jackson faced Macy in ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]''. The three-on-three match proved to be a close one, with both competitors down to their last Pokémon. Jackson's showboating gets the better of him, as he trips over his cape while issuing orders to {{p|Poliwhirl}}. Poliwhirl is left standing as Macy's {{p|Quilava}} delivered a final {{m|Flamethrower}} to win the round.

 

Later, Ash ventured into the [[Pokémon Center]] where he overheard the familiar voice of [[Professor Elm]] in the background. Ash walked over to the videophone and met Jackson in person for the first time. The pair greeted each other as Elm offered Jackson some encouragement for his upcoming match. Outside, Jackson's {{p|Meganium}} and {{p|Azumarill}} get into a heated fight with [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] and {{AP|Squirtle}} over an apple. Ash and Jackson rushed outside to separate their Pokémon, but {{jo|Harrison}}'s {{p|Miltank}} eased the tensions with a soothing {{m|Heal Bell}}.

 

Overnight, Ash researched Jackson's team of Pokémon, and he settled on trying to counter the dynamic party based on [[type]] advantage.  Ash and Jackson's round began the following day. Jackson was given the first move, and he called out his Azumarill. Ash selected {{AP|Pikachu}}. Azumarill was eventually defeated by a close-range {{m|Thunder}} attack. Jackson called out his {{p|Magneton}}, and it defeated Pikachu and later {{AP|Cyndaquil}} with a {{m|Thunder Wave}} and {{m|Tri Attack}} combo. {{AP|Bulbasaur}} was Ash's final Pokémon. It dodged Jackson's winning strategy with a {{m|Vine Whip}} jump and exhausted Magneton with a {{m|Leech Seed}}.

 

Jackson selected his final Pokémon, Meganium. The two {{type|Grass}} Pokémon both take some heavy hits, exchanging a fury of Vine Whip and {{m|Razor Leaf}} attacks. A collision of {{m|Solar Beam}}s leaves both sides fatigued. Meganium and Bulbasaur remained determined to prove themselves, though they settle their rivalry with fainting at the same time. The referee called the round a double knockout, and a draw overall between Ash and Jackson. Attention turns to the points for the three-way matches. With his four point total, Ash advanced into the next round of the Silver Conference. While Jackson's Silver Conference journey had come to an end, he shook hands with Ash and wished him the best for the battles ahead.

 

Vincent appeared in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''. He and {{jo|Marina}} were talking via a Pokémon Center videophone. The conversation was interrupted by {{jo|Jimmy}} who went on to hang up on Vincent after he threatened to expose his crush on Marina.

 

Later, Vincent joined [[Eusine|Eugene]], Marina and Jimmy's quest to protect a {{OBP|Raikou|The Legend of Thunder!}} from [[Team Rocket]] duo, [[Attila]] and [[Hun]]. He appeared in a cape, and ordered his Meganium to use Solar Beam to block Hun’s {{p|Steelix}} from using {{m|Rock Throw}}. The pair were forced to leap from a cliff after Steelix lashed out at them. Attila and Hun successfully captured Raikou and flew from the scene, but to Vincent's dismay they also caught Marina.

 

He, Eugene and Jimmy again confronted the Rocket duo. Vincent tripped in his bid to save Marina, and she ended up landing on his back. Everyone's attention turned to saving Raikou. Vincent and Jimmy had their Meganium and {{TP|Jimmy|Typhlosion}} drain the Miracle Crystal system's energy, and eventually Raikou gained the strength to free itself. Raikou later destroyed the Miracle Crystal, which led Attila and Hun to escape. Raikou turns to Vincent and the others to thank them before returning to the wilderness.

 

 

Vincent has [[BackShipping|a crush on Marina]]. He regularly keeps in contact with her via the [[Pokégear]]. Knowing Marina admires people who wear capes, Vincent dresses up in a cape sometimes to impress her. He has also used different personae in a bid to impress her. While it is disputed whether ''Jackson'' was one, he called himself ''Fabu-Vinny'' in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', as Marina refers to [[Lance]] as ''Fabu-Lance''. Vincent sees Jimmy as a rival for Marina's attraction, which is not unfounded as [[QuestShipping]] is near-canon.  

|desc=Jackson's {{DL|List of alternately colored Pokémon in the anime|Magneton|Shiny}} {{p|Magneton}} made its sole appearance in ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]''. It proved to be very powerful and strategic. Jackson sent it out to battle [[Ash's Pikachu]]. After a long battle, Magneton finished Pikachu off with a Thunder Wave and Tri Attack combination, then went on to defeat {{AP|Cyndaquil}} with the same strategy. It was finally defeated by {{AP|Bulbasaur}}.

|desc=In the original version of ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', {{jo|Marina}} mentioned that Vincent has a {{p|Yanma}} which he uses to give her some gifts.
